Legendary hardcore punk band D.O.A., whose new album Talk Minus Action Equals Zero was released on May, are on tour with hardcore legends Negative Approach. Both bands can be found at Asbury Lanes in NJ tonight (6/18) (flyer below), in Boston on Saturday night, and then at the free Punk Island fest happening on Governors Island on Sunday (June 20). As previously mentioned...

Punk Island returns for a third year in 2010, with more than 130 of the country's loudest bands transforming the ordinarily quiet Governors Island into a daylong punk/hardcore paradise.

Bands will perform on 18 stages scattered around the island, as free ferries transport revelers from Lower Manhattan and DUMBO to Governors Island every half hour, beginning at 10am.

Because Governors Island is closed on the day of Make Music New York, Punk Island will take place the day before, on Sunday, June 20th. Just like the rest of MMNY, all performances are outdoors and completely free.

From the The Church in Boston - "PLEASE NOTE: Both bands will be playing ONLY their classic material, with D.O.A. particularly focusing on the Hardcore 81 LP."
HC '81 is a such killer LP, probably DOAs peak.

Saw them back in the mid 80s at the Rock Hotel and the entire club (and I mean from stage back to the bathrooms to the bars) was one big mosh pit – it was hilarious.
